On 09/09/09 was an event called The Nines put on by Leadership Network and Catalyst. Greg Surratt spoke on innovation.
The best take away from the talk was the decision matrix.
The matrix helps the group to determine what goals should be implemented after a brainstorming session.
Some choices will be easy to implement, while others will be hard. Second, some decisions will create a big win for the organization, while others will only make a minor improvement.
Place each idea in the correct quadrant to determine what goals should be implemented.
Work first on the Easy Big Wins and forget the Hard Small Wins.
The other two quadrants can be worked on later once the Easy Big Win quadrant goals are accomplished.
